Booting a disk image with GRUB in BHyve?

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

I tried the following:

(1)   Downloaded SmartOS USB image from:
http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS

(2)  Uncompressed the bz2 file.

(3)  Ran "file" on the binary:

#  file smartos-latest-USB.img
smartos-latest-USB.img: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1
version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000, stage2 segment 0x200; partition 1:
ID=0xc, starthead 1, startsector 63, 3903732 sectors, extended partition
table (last)\011, code offset 0x48

(4)  Tried vmrun.sh:

sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -d ./smartos-latest-USB.img -m 4G
smartos_vm1

I got this error:

=================================================
Launching virtual machine "smartos_vm1" ...
Consoles: userboot

FreeBSD/amd64 User boot, Revision 1.1

can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK
====================================================

How can I boot something which uses GRUB bootloader in BHyve?

Thanks.
